AN ORCHARD AT vIGNoN.

The hills are white. but not with snow:
They are as pale in summer time,
For herb or grass may never grow
Upon their slopes Of lime.
Within the circle Of theshills
A ring all towering IN a round,
An orchard ring Of almond fills
The plat OF stony ground.
More fair than happier trees, / think,
Grown in well-watered pasture land,
These parched and stEnted branches, pink
Above the stones and Sane
O, white, austere, ideal place.
" here very few will care 10 come,
Where Spring hath lost the waving grace
She wears for " al home.
Fain would / sit and watch for hours
The holy whiteness Of thy hills,
Their wreath Of pale aurorial TOWER.
Their peace the silence hlls
a place Of secret peace thou art,
such peace as in an hour OF pain
one moment fills the amazed heart,
And never comes again.
"A. Mary +. Robinson.
